The tilt of the earth's axis with respect to the plane of its orbit causes more daylight

over one of the earth's hemispheres for half of the year, and over the other hemisphere

during the other half of the year. Whichever hemisphere has more hours of sunshine

receives more solar energy, experiences gradually increasing temperatures, and eventually

calls the season "Summer".

What happens to the length of daylight as you go from winter to summer?

The length of daylight increases as you transition from winter to summer. This change occurs because the Earth's tilt causes the northern hemisphere to be more directly exposed to sunlight during the summer months, resulting in longer days.

What causes summer in Australia?

Summer in Australia is caused by the same actions that cause summer elsewhere across the Earth. It is caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis as it orbits the Sun. The way the Earth is angled towards the Sun at any given time of the year causes an increase or decrease in the number of daylight hours: summer is caused by an increase in daylight hours and a more vertical angle of sunlight.
